Re: How to watch MKV downloads????

Re: How to watch MKV downloads????

That mkv file is annoying. I like to download anime then transfer it to my usb to watch them on my big screen in my xbox but with mkv files it does not let me save those anime with that format, and there are great animes with only that format like fma brotherhood...

Re: How to watch MKV downloads????

.mkv files are just containers that hold (usually) video file(s), sound file(s) and various other files, like subs. Any type of video can be in there. If you want to convert it and possibly burn subs permanently in, you can use something like handbrake:http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

It works great on linux. I'm not sure how it runs on Windows or Mac. Try it. It's pretty easy. I suggest installing your codecs before installing handbrake though.

Re: How to watch MKV downloads????

No, you don't. At least not if you're using VLC Media Player.
You only need those Codecs if you want to play them with Windows Media Player or other players that usually don't support MKV-files but I would seriously suggest using VLC Media Player, I am using it for every video I have, even if it's not even MKV.

Well that's a shame but there are always sites that upload anime specially encoded for Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 - You just need to find them

Well you know more about video formats and players than I do.
From my experience though, VLC never did play *.mkv till I loaded the codecs.

What's good about VLC, they haven't updated in forever.
Tells you how good it is.
